The Usborne book of the Moon - Laura Cowan

For thousands of years, the Moon has been the one thing in the night sky that everyone anywhere on our planet recognises. Trace the story of the Moon around the world and through history, from ancient legends about its creation, to its first sighting through a telescope, right up until the Apollo 11 mission and the first Moon landing in 1969.

Laura studied literature twice at university, so she's read a lot of books (always helpful when writing them). Before joining Usborne, she taught English in Barcelona, Dublin and Cambridge. She now lives in East London, where she regrets the lack of sun and sea.

Beautifully illustrated... Straightforward and informative, and preserves the magic of the moon.

Brimming with fun and fascinating facts, questions and answers, myths and mysteries, and the exciting history of mankind's race through space to land on the Moon, this is a wonderful introduction to our amazing, faraway Moon.
